RE: Weighing monthly payment plans vs. upfront discounts for kids’ braces
Totally get where you’re coming from. I tried to be the “savings hero” and pay upfront for my kid’s braces, but wouldn’t you know it - the hot water heater picked that exact week to die. Ended up juggling credit cards an...
RE: Water flossers showdown: cordless vs countertop, what's your pick?

RE: Do your kids actually wear their sports mouthguards?

RE: Quick fix for brighter teeth - baking soda vs activated charcoal?
Haha, coconut oil pulling...I gave that a shot once after seeing it all over Instagram. Honestly, I lasted about three days before I accidentally sneezed mid-swish and ended up with coconut oil all over my bathroom mirro...
